Goals
No small-cap shorts on Day-1 parabolic / halt-and-reopen names unless the tail is bounded — long put, defined-risk spread, or don't play. First Red Day shorts are a separate playbook: allowed in shares with a defined stop.

Reminder
Long-term: Watch the cushion: multiple de-risked winners on the book is exactly the state that historically tempts oversized new conviction bets — size DOWN when up.

No trades.
Reflection
What I did well
no trade
What I learned
I should have put a buy order on my long term investment VOO. it hit my order when I was asleep but i forgot to do it. I really regretting it but it is what it is. Improve next time
Actionable takeaway
better system to alert buying VOO. Somehow tradingview alert slow and worst case if it alert and I'm asleep I couldn't get filled in the best price if I didn't set a limit order. Something to improve on

AI Review
No day trades. Cash-sitting streak continues into a fifth session — selectivity holding, matching his edge (§1). Only friction: missed VOO limit-order fill on long-term investment, admin oversight not a trading process break.
- Set standing VOO limit orders + faster alert channel — TradingView alone too slow overnight SGT.
- De-risked runners (SNOW/CRCL/CRWD/EL/CRM) sitting on house money — exit efficiency only, not size questions.
- GOOGL + VG are the two full-risk opens; know both 1R totals before adding.
- Standing goal intact — no small-cap short attempted.
